I totally agree Zo...I remember meeting some young conservatives at CPAC 2 years ago and they were soooooo square. I told them..."Listen, you guys are boring and dont have an ounce of swag...loosen up. This is 2010...and you guys need to get with it if you want to get your message out. Nobody is gonna listen to you because your whole packaging is boring." Good news...the next year I saw some real hip ones and it made me smile....lol
Who is this StepNFetchit? Look Uncle Reemus; that Fox host got her ass handed to her because she didn't have a clue what she was talking about. She came out lying, as the rightwing always does, and she got slapped in the grill with irrefutable facts that shut her down. And you, as their shameless waterboy obviously have been lying so much at the behest of your masters you can no longer tell the truth from a lie. The reason your masters get crushed in every debate is because truth prevails.
@talan3000 Next time you see my masters, could you tell them I have yet to hear from or meet them, and that apparently they're way behind paying me for my views....I've been Tea Partying since '08, yet I'd never even heard the name 'Koch Brothers' until the Wisconsin Labor Riots of '10 when I found out I work for them. Could you tell them they owe me back pay, since you obviously know them better than I do?
Hold up when he recited this poem he did it with a West Indian feel. When we say "burn", we don't mean literally burn as in burning something or someone we mean it like "fuck that". The same way people use "screw" and fuck interchangeably. Common is a peaceful rapper, spoken word if different from literary poetry because without listening to the performer performing the poem the content can easily be misrepresented. He ends the poem by talking about world peace, can't do that by burning people.
It's time for people that debate on this subject to type in 'common' in their youtube search bar and listen to some songs. Common can not at all be seen as a radical rapper. If they invited ice cube or something, then arguments against it would be justified.
@raplover14 Ice Cube, star of children's movies such as 'Are We There Yet, 1 & 2?" Or did you mean Ice T, they guy who portrays a respected NYC Detective on Law and Order?
@ramv36 haha, that's true, those two aren't what they used to be. But both of those rappers being invited to the white house should deserve such a debate, looking at their past and all.
After that pathologically specious rant, you have ALOT of nerve to call other people on harboring a false sense of reality. It's practically quintessential pretension.
This guy is such an idiot. Does this guy even LISTEN to Common's music? He's NOT a voice of hate. But I guess anything associated with rap has to be hateful.
And why not mention that Bono and other such folks were also invited to the white house and they made songs about violence as well. Then he goes on to say my entire life is based on make believe?? Fuck you macho. I wake up, go to work, pay bills just like you do. Working hard isn't some prime conservative ideal. It's life you moron.
Keli Geof is fierce and she has you Righties for lunch every time. It doesn't help that the facts are always working against you. Conservatives deal with reality? A reality that involves death panels and Kenyan born Muslim presidents? Give me a break. Righties lose because their lazy, biased and bigoted armchair cultural analysis come at the cost of their diminishing credibility.
@ramv36 Wow, I missed a single letter. Well, i'll improve on my spelling when you stop using apostrophes and quotation marks interchangeably and learn correct punctuation, Einstein.
Sure, conservatives are to simple minded to be creative and you rationalize that by calling it deceit. However, their main problem is with accuracy. Zo, you just called Common a voice of hate. That is as far from true as it gets and it's so easy to disprove. Anyone can spend an hour on YouTube listening to Common's songs and not get that impression. The impression they will get would be that you are uninformed. Learn about these things before discussing them and you won't sound so dumb.
Interesting commentary, but it appears that you've drunk the koolAid in setting up this false dichotomy between liberals and conservatives. So I guess it was not make believe when Hannity fails to disavow Ted Nugent's rant on Obama and Hilary?
Conservatives and liberal are simply cut from the same cloth, but I understand you got to stand for your man.... just don't forget the vaseline.
Did anyone at all, on this site, read Charles Duelfer's book ? He's a good old fashioned Bush kind of guy (CIA type, has dreams of conquering every nation around), was in charge of finding WMD, and EVEN HE AGREES THAT THERE WERE NO WMD LEFT IN IRAQ. Sadam eliminated them in response to a couple of cruise missles that totally demolished the Iraqi Intelligence Headquarters. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH. READ A BOOK.
@daswann14: For the record, I can't stand Beck, Hannity or Limbaugh, especially Beck. I may be conservative, but I think they are vain, pompous idiots.
Dude death panels? Lying about Ryan's voucher program? Lying about caring about creating jobs? Who doesn't live in reality? Conservatives. Limbaugh, Hannity, Plante, Palin, Bachmann, O'Reilly, and lets not forget Brian Kilmeade. All delusional idiots.
The majority of what's said in this vid is so ass backwards I wouldn't even know where to start. I mean, showing a clip of someone trying to make and explain a point and then being interrupted before he can finish is something you see as a win for your side? YOU not understanding that poetry uses creative language is something you're proud of? Someone pointing out hypocrisy by bringing up other artists CONSERVATIVES have supported is something you can't wrap your brain around? Wow.. just... wow
@logic39da There's no way in hell I can watch the rest of this vid after that. The stupid... it burns. The scariest part is that you (and your fans) actually do think you're making sense. Just watch Jon Stewart mollywop Bill O'Reilly on this subject (I'm sure you already saw it though). If you still try to defend your (non) point after that massacre, then I think we for certain say who lives in a fantasy world. Wow... just... wow.
@logic39da Thank you. Stewart powned O'Reilly and O'Reilly kept repeating racist talking points. The only distinction between the artists Stewart mentioned and Common was their skin color. What a racist asshole. And zo gives people like that cover.
@daswann14 Yeah, Johnny Cash performed at prisons for thieves, rapists, murders (cop killers included) and had violent lyrics but that doesnt compare to Common who's so "full of hate" as Zo would put it. Lyrics like "..use self control instead of birth control cuz $315 aint worth your soul", "I'll never call you my bitch or even my boo. There's so much more in a name and so much more in you", "too many black women can say that theyre mothers but cant say that theyre wives" That vile Common smh.
@itachi705 Zo is defending O'Reilly's position. How is he showing his argument to be any different from O'Reilly's or anyone else on FOX for that matter? Left brained my ass. Try using your whole brain next time. Btw, I have no recollection of being raped or being a bitch but if, instead of using my whole brain like I normally do, I instead only use half like Zo just admitted you guys do, should I call the cops? I mean, you're being literal right? There's no other possible interpretation right?
@logic39da Wow, just wow. You are an absolute utter fucking moron. You are fucking ass backwards for not accepting the truth. Fucking idiot.
He "interrupted" that clip because it was already put in context. The lyrics before were pointed out, so it was interrupted because their is no logical defense to that because that douchebag was already proven wrong.
"YOU not understanding that poetry uses creative language is something you're proud of?"
@itachi705 I see the stupid is contagious too. I wasn't talking about the CLIP being interrupted, I'm talking about Zo SHOWING a clip of Hannity's GUEST BEING INTERUPPTED BEFORE HE EVEN MAKES HIS POINT. The strawman that FOX is building, and Zo is defending, is that these guests are trying to argue that Common is not talking about GWB at all. Who the hell said that?! The argument they're TRYING to make is that "burn a bush" is not literal. If you think it is, YOU'VE missed the point, moron.
For all you liberals that laugh at "Atlas Shrugged Part One" not being able to recover costs of production, I guess you must admitt we conservatives are terrible at producing propeganda. Then who is really good at producing movies that turn profits every year? Hollywood liberals?
@SupposedUnionThug Funny how the only thing you could even TRY to make a snide remark on is a man's religious view, nevermind that Zoe has a very good stance about keeping both religion and politics separate. How ironic is it that he's warned about your type already? Very much so I think. ;)
@SupposedUnionThug Ah yes, Zoe instead of Zo, small error. But, if the above comment lacks any notion of sense in your own mind, then that simply tells the world of the depth of your own personal ignorance. Begone little troll man/girl? ;)
I am so tired of the myth that there was no WMD I did thirty minute presentation where I pulled out my photos and other photos of WMD in IRAQ and the look on people faces when their life's work faded before their eyes. The media never did its job just like now we would think Iraq is peachy but its NOT.
More to the point though, if you ever come across one of those conservatives who are ambidextrous in the head who's trying to get to the top and make himself known, let us know, Zo.
dead on accurate as usual . However i think this manufactured drama is designed to distract from what should be the headlines about gas prices, revolution in the middle east,unemployment ,food prices,mexican drug cartels waging war in our streets,etc...watch wag the dog again , and remember to pick your battles.
I always think of "Soma" from A Brave New World - the dreamy Star Trek Kumaya Fantasy Land of Liberalism. I also think of the scene in "The Matrix" where he's gotta chose between the Blue pill or the Red pill. Listen again to those lines - about reality and fantasy - then think of the blue and red national map after every Presidential election. Liberals think of us voters as human batteries laying in a vat of goo - living in fantasy land to be used for their agenda.
I think the Common at the white house was blown way out of proportion, there are much bigger issues that should be talked about. I do think they/us (conservatives) took the bait, they should choose which bait to open their mouths over and which ones are not worth it and leave it be.
Zo, as a highly creative conservative (so right-brained that I can barely tie my shoes), I agree with you. We do have to be less stuffed-shirt and more creative. The irony is that we have to be creative with the truth rather than the Lie of the Perfect World (which doesn't exist on this side of the gate). Keep on keepin' on, my brother, because you make no bones about saying it like it is.

@BelievingRebel You can't. Because you're led around by people like Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh that attack anything funny or artistic, want a country from 1982, and only give a damn about rich individual and corporate donors. You will always be on the losing end of pop culture.
Once again I am always amazed at how well written these videos are. You are truly the smartest person who posts on Youtube and I can't figure out why you're not a household name yet. I would LOVE to see you get your own show someday. Thanks again for making these videos - please keep it up. PS - I wonder if you read Mark Steyn. I know you would like him because he's also brilliant and funny at the same time.
The best way to be creative, in any perspective, shape or form, is to start with whats there, know that it is there, and then know how to use that truth to make something unreal.
the true culprit for our current economic state it a man by the name of Khanes, he came up with the idea that a war economy would balance out an overspending of the deficit in time, and if you look at the time that he made that statement, we as a nation have been in near meaningless proxy wars and other unecessary wars in order for the government to overspend the budget, for our government officials, its impossible to say no to this temptation, whether you left or right
I see the people that blame Bush for the deficit and die a little inside, for those of you who are naive enough to not know basic economics, decions made by a presidential term are lagged in the economy, it is commonly accepted that the economy is a slow acting system, for instance, the great depression had been festering for almost three presidential terms before the fall, it isnt attributed to the president who was in office at the time.

I think inviting Common was bad judgement on Michelle Obama's part, but that's about the extent of it for me. You make good points on the presentation of conservative ideas and arguments for a general audience, but it's a sad commentary. When it comes to serious issues I don't think we can survive as a country if both sides of an argument are compelled to make their side "entertaining" to be taken seriously. I think you're right. That's the reality, but it doesn't bode well for our country.
I can't believe that I actually listened to a couple of Common's songs in 2008, what was I thinking? Of course, I found Obama slightly fascinating at the time too, but then Sarah Palin hit the scene, and anything that I might have found fascinating about Obama, didn't matter anymore.
Our culture of 'entertainment,' is one forged through the ills of modern man. The fact that you have to 'sell,' decency via artistic pursuits says quite a bit. Historically, the leftists have always been better with art and propaganda, all the way back to the Peloponnese Wars betwixt Athens and Sparta. Personally, I can't even listen to the radio without complaining about the universal mundane feature of 'artists.' The materialism has come to nauseate me.

Funny, the first time I ever heard of Obama was this line from Common in 2006 "Why is Bush actin like he trying to get Osama? Why don’t we impeach him and elect Obama?" from Jadakisses Why Remix with Nas.
Someone on the Factor made a good point about this tonight, I can't remember if it was O'Reilly or Goldberg who said it though.
Would the people who have no problem with Common being invited to the White House say the same thing in this situation. A white musician who publically said he didn't believe James Earl Ray was guilty. That he wrote songs in support of Ray, even visited him in prison before his death. Would a president who hung out with that musician get the same pass NObama is??
@TNT93535 Now you're just being silly! Liberals having to abide by the same rules, apply the same standards to themselves as they apply to conservatives? Remember they're the party of rich Democrat dynasties-Kennedy, Gore, Kerry/liberal, America hating billionaires-like Soros/hordes of super rich ultra-liberal Hollywood celebrities-all going around in private jets with giant mansions & throw million dollar parties-all while saying how the right doesn't care about the poor or the environment!
Liberals live in a magical fantasyland made of sunshine, rainbows, and wishful thinking. Libs also have issues with facts and logic, so they have to rely on theatrics and BS. So, Colbert was wrong. Reality has a conservative bias.
@ 3.11 " We live in reality, liberals live in a world of make believe" LMAO yeah that's right!! I had to listen through that twice! LOL Greta video and points..!!

@frogsoda what are you talking about? all you people do is pretend. pretend about reagan, pretend that our country is great because of our "Freedom". Pretend trickle down economics works. pretend that the war of terror and the war of drugs isn't a waste of time and resources. Pretend that the bible is the word of god. You believe every word of it and yet it contradicts itself almost every step of the way. It's got excellent one liners though.
Yeah but those are noecons.. I mean, I consider my self a Republican based on party principles, not by what most of those who call themselves Repblicans and the policies they run on. Remember when Bush ran on "humble foreign policy and no nation building"? Religion is different, is has nothing to do with political views.. it's not a stretch.

@carlindelco lol. using the term hate speech? now that is drama.
here are your facts.... conservatives? Reagan (a giant spender), Bush snr... giant spender (but he was the best of the bunch! by far, ouch) then W and "deficits don't matter" Cheney. all republican presidents and none were conservative. thus your ideology is a mirage. it never existed.
now the christian right and the republicans? you need proof for that? just watch this dude!!!!!
@Lombokstrait1 LobotomizedStrait1 has his head so far up Ayatollah Obama's rear that he'd never see a truth or fact if it flew right by him! People like this liberal pile of excrement think that because the rest of us aren't willing to stick our head's up Ayatollah Obama's rear too, we are evil, stupid people.
I'm so sick of these brainless liberal idiots who blindly follow whatever "cause" is currently hot or continually make excuses for their politicians who are destroying America!
@Lombokstrait1 Yeah, and you're pretending that your comments are being removed. I'm looking at your comments right now. How Because they haven't been removed. Immediate Proof right there in your face that you people live in a world of make believe. You can try to form prejudice all you want about what we believe about what we believe, but the bottom line is it's y'all. The only make believe I'm doing is assuming you've got sense enough to get it, but I can hope.

@machosauceproduction ? what are you talking about? check it... This comment has received too many negative votes AND with no retort at all? yeah, I'm nuts! see my comment further down the board.
I have a pretty good idea what you believe and it belongs back in the 1300's. It's pathetic and it's simple.
conservatism is a myth. your religion is a myth. it's all make believe. Your "proof" is like your belief system, a giant misunderstanding. go prey to your petty gawd.
So strange, I haven't hardly had any oposition to your views from all of your videos posted and I've idolized you sort of, lol. But this is tricky for me as I don't believe there were any controvercial lines in 'Burn a Bush'. What I interpret the song as saying is 'burn' as in 'Fire' Bush as president because we didn't find any "weapons of mass destruction in iraq'. Quite frankly, I agree. Bush had highly controvercial foreign (much less domestic) policy and his approval ratings of some 20%
@taylor22222222 I think that's a great interpretation of that lyric. Although Bush isn't all to blame for the WMD's international intel, as well as cases made from prominent representatives including, Gore, Kerry, Albright, Clinton, etc. all made the case that he had weapons and needed to be disarmed. Clinton even Saw this about Sadam before Bush was even Prez. Why Because Sadam did have them. He used them on his own people, and did have a nuke program.
I checked up on some of what you said, and those are good points so I guess I missed a few thing. And I don't think his lyrics are more hatred as they are just ignorance. I don't know, it's not necessarily a smart decision to invite him in and I guess I just expect it from this administration lol.
@taylor22222222 This is the problem with most liberals. You make these statements without any qualification to do so. IOW You don't even have the facts necessary to make a intelligent statement. Yet you think you are the smartest people in any room. but you are not. NEC Not Even Close.
What me, liberal...and what qualifications do you think I have as being labeled as a liberal. Hahaha I thought I was more Conservative Libertarian/Repblican. :P
@machosauceproduction Zo is right, as usual! As we were going in to Iraq, convoys of Iraqi trucks were fleeing to Syria. Now, maybe they were just carrying Sadam's baseball card collection & Brady Bunch commemorative plates, but I'm thinking it was stuff a bit more important that Saddam didn't want us to find, so he sent it to his fellow Bath Party ruler in Syria, to be hidden away.
Not proof they were WMD's in all those trucks-but it makes sense. Clinton & many others thought they existed!
@machosauceproduction what people forget is that the war never officially ended. We were essentially under a UN brokered ceasefire. The conditions of which included Iraq proving disposal of WMDs that everyone new where there. It was never the obligation of The US to prove he had them, under the signed resolutions it was his responsibility to prove he had gotten rid of them.
The resolutions also granted any member nations to enforce compliance through "any means it deemed necessary".
@taylor22222222 That's quite a stretch there plasticman. Seriously, if he wanted to say fire Bush then say fire him. I've never had an employer who "burned" people when letting them go.
As for his domestic policy, Bush's was nowhere NEAR as controversial as what's been shoved down our throats the past 2 years.
xD Hahahaa. It's a play on words, an allusion to the burning bush in the Bible. It's a metaphor for persecuting the president, like Nixon and Clinton. Companies don't generally 'burn' people, but we're talking about a freakin poem. o.O Quit being so irrational.
And I agree, this administration is very controvercial...I made that point. Basically we have an administration that's a little more on the fringe then the previous one... which is what I believe conceived the neocon...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... by scrambling to cover up everything that the previous administration did. Patriot Act, Department of homeland security, bailouts and TARP funds, the housing market bubble-bust (American Dream Home Act, 2006) and not to mention the Department of Education had very well expanded, it used to be that the Republicans were against all that.
I'm no liberal drone saying Bush killed the environment or advocated terrorist rights~that's nonsense.
That chick defending commons words is proven to be attempting to mislead people once you hear the context of his "burn a bush" words then when she knows shes busted she starts talking about the pope and trump? wtf does that to do with commons words? red herring much?.
I think she was tyring to make a point in that they aren't inviting criminals into the white house, and there are much worse people that have been invited to White House or have been considered an invitation. However I disagree almost absolutely on their policies, this shouldn't be this big of a deal.
so well said, the truth is Common going to the whitehouse is no more odd than the hundreds of other guests they have each year. Common is as rappers go, one of the least hateful with a catalogue of some of the most positive songs. Folks may not like him, but painting him as some gun toting ganster type is pure bullshit, and the more our fellow conservatives harp on such a non issue, the more they marginalize our movement.
If your liberal, you think your so smart you should tell others how to live their lives. If your conservative, you think your so smart no one should tell you how to live your life...
@QCprepper traditionally, that's bass-ackwards. I dunno when, or why, but the meanings for the words "liberal" and "conservative" have completly traded places in their meanings. Like, I can look at the defintion of the word Liberal and go, "that's me!" but I look at 'liberals' out there today, and they are the opposite of me. So, I identify with the Conservatives, who wish to conserve the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. (which are liberal documents) LOL
I enjoyed that rant, and I hope conservatives will start getting more serious on the packaging. That's where Reagan was great. He not only had good ideas (sadly only a small fraction of them were implemented), but he knew how to reach the people with them. Gingrich in the early Contract with America days showed some promise there too, but was often too inconsistent with both his message and his actions.
Zo- Once again you bless me with your insight and ability to digest all the facts before presenting them well. Right on my friend! Keep the faith and continue the struggle! Thanks for putting this together. You're beginning to make me get involved on political items...and that I thought I'd never do!
Obama had to play his trump cards last month. Killing Osama and inviting Common and Scott to the white house was just a way to make people forget about his fake birth certificate.

You won't agree with me here but, if the right wants someone to buy what it's selling, it needs to think more about what it's selling. I'm a conservative but I have a difficult time hearing a conservative speak about freedom and liberty, and personal responsibility.. yet we still make excuses for why weed is illegal? there are so many stupid controlling laws on our lives it drives me nuts, and it feels like Libertarians are the only ones attacking that.
@jkessler410 That's one of those areas where I'm neither entirely with the conservative or libertarian camp. Back when the feds tried to ban alcohol, they were at least honest about it by requiring a Constitutional amendment. It didn't work, and got repealed. On the local level, there are dry towns nowadays, and people are generally respectful of each town's laws on it. I think if we did something a bit more like that regarding marijuana laws, it would work a lot better. Decide it locally.
I am for state rights, but at the same time the same problem plagues states, I hate drugs but love craft beers, Old Rasputin X and Sam Adams Triple Bock are two of my favorites, I can not even buy them in my state because the alcohol levels are around 19%, so they have to be sold in ABC stores which are run by the government and don't sell beer, so basically I can not get it anywhere without driving for hours upon hours, which I'm not doing fo-r beer.
@jkessler410 That's one of the areas where it's frustrating, but it's a bit easier to repeal at the state level than the federal, and even more so at the local level. I can't get freaking raw milk in my state. I support state nullification of unconstitutional federal acts, and beyond that, I'm all for counties and towns flexing their muscle and saying "screw you" to the state if it gets too intrusive. That's starting up in Maine, where towns are ignoring fed and state regulations on raw foods.
Sorry to spam it but I wanted to say more, look at the laws we abide by day to day.. tickets for seat belts, tickets for rolling stop signs if we slowed to .0001 MPH instead of 0.0 MPH.. Every turn some politician is trying to ban some book, movie or video game because they don't feel adults can decide for themselves what is ok for them to enjoy.. we need a huge makeover.. there is a difference between what I think is personally right, and what is constitutionally allowed.
@jkessler410 Really, Liberatarians are like parrots- "squak, squak, we're lazy, ignorant dopers and we want weed!" "squak, squak, we're lazy, ignorant perverts and we want prostitution legalized!"
You vermin are all about young girls basically being forced into slavery to satisfy your perversions, and getting young kids hooked on drugs.
I hate liberals, but I find libertarians to be even more vile, more disgusting!

@TheLordObamessiah You're a dolt man, I hate drugs, I want nothing to do with them, I've never touched them in my life... but that's the problem here.. we hear about how conservatives are against the Nanny state, we don't need government dictating our lives on how we live, how we spend our money or what foods we consume (and they try to dictate all of that).. But if someone suggests that if an idiot wants to do drugs who are you to tell them they can't? it's not my problem nor yours.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@jkessler410 A lot of this is also where I disagree with the republican party. It's okay to do drugs: if you have a doctor give them to you. Try to grow your own in a veggie garden, you're looking at some prison time. Republicans also lose me in religion. Apparently, you can't be a conservative unless you are christian. Only christians can be conservatives. And that don't fly with me. Constitution says, FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
@jkessler410 Drug addicts aren't harmless- there is an assembly line of young children that are horribly abused or neglected because their loser parents are on drugs. There's the problem of meth houses next door to people who shouldn't have the danger of those chemicals next door or the scum that come to buy the stuff. They are a large portion of the people out there stealing from the rest of us.
Lazy parasite stoners can jump off a bridge- our country would be far better without them!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@TheLordObamessiah There are people who's children are neglected because their parents are morbidly obese, are we going to also mandate exercise and outlaw the big mac? get off the stupidity train, nobody is saying drugs are ok, only that if you preach liberty, then start drawing lines in the sand on things you don't personally like, you're a hypocritical douche nozzle.
@jkessler410 You perverted dopers think it's fine that girls are used as sex slaves- and call it the freedom of prostitution- or the spread of your drugs to kids! You just want Paul in so you can have the freedom to spread your perversions.
Well, you drug addicted pervs have another thing coming if you think decent Americans will ever support your "cause"!
And I'll add, it's not just about drugs, it's all of the stupid laws in life.. if the other lane is void of traffic why can't I just turn left? why do I get a ticket for rolling a stop sign on an empty road (do you think laws can be common sense and a police officer should be able to determines the threat level between pulling out in front of someone?. I love craft beer, if it has high alcohol, I can't buy it in my state.. the list could go on and on.

Hey, Zonation, remember when you said that conservatives think they're so smart that you can hardly tell them anything? Notice how, in both your clips providing evidence that liberals live in a world of make believe, neither liberal was allowed to actually finish their explanation, and instead the conservatives, including yourself, presumed a forthcoming explanation worthy of ridicule? You realize you were just providing evidence of conservative know-it-all-ism right?
Zo, As a individual I could care less that Common is who Obama is entertained by,that knowledge only strengthens my views of Obama's personality and his politics. Nothing we can do about that until 2012. I had the same disgust over Clinton's behavior as well in "The People's House". But I think you may have overlooked one minor fact Sir. It's not Obama's House. It's OUR House and we should have some say as to the quality of Invitees to OUR White House. Diplomat's are a must Entertainers are Not!

this is the best rant you have ever given. I'm someone who's really creative & artistic, but has recently been woo'd over to the right through study. Where my liberal friends are open and accepting to all forms of expression, conservatives seem to be very closed minded. it's disappointing. especially with this Common fiasco. I'm a musician who loves all music. Common has produced a few really good tracks. go look up "The Light". How can a conservative object to music like that? don't be blinded!
It's this reality that allows people like Jon Stewart to exist. Full of lies and stereotypes but manage to make it entertaining. I'm sick of conservatives taking the bait and I'm even more sick of organizations like Fox News not defending themselves when they're slandered. They need to make noise in order to be heard. Otherwise, it's too easy for something like the Daily Show to talk them out of context, smear them and make it "fact" to their viewers.
@machosauceproduction I'd agree. There was a song recently by the lead singer of Staind that for the most part preached conservative values. I think it's called Country Boy, and it talks about things like not needing government to hold your hand and respect for the flag. We need some more stuff like that in the music world.
Amazing analysis, like all that I've seen so far, I would love it when you can just be called a conservative and not a black conservative. Content of character type of thing. What other things have influenced you?
Right on, Zo.... You've done it again, bro! You have layed it out there, now it is up to conservatives to light a match to the fire of truth... but watch your asses folks, cause we're not cook'n with gas any longer, we've gone, nu-clear!
I like your analogy to the race card house. Quite good. Yes, "the facts are not enough." Quite true. You and Breitbart do a great job in going the extra yard and adding humor.
Zo i like and appreciate your style and messege. Not to plug but there a radio guy here in houston you should check out Michael Berry 950 radio mojo. I think youd like him.

Save all your money Zo. That is if you make money off of this. You cant be doing this for to long...After a while you will have to find something else to do. Demonizing a group because they do not think like you has been done to death and its getting old. For both the so called liberals and conservatives....
As far as Common....I simply dont care. Its difficult for me to pay any attention to "That One" after the Rev. Wright debacle.

I told them..."Listen, you guys are boring and dont have an ounce of swag...loosen up. This is 2010...and you guys need to get with it if you want to get your message out.

Hold up when he recited this poem he did it with a West Indian feel. When we say "burn", we don't mean literally burn as in burning something or someone we mean it like "fuck that". The same way people use "screw" and fuck interchangeably. Common is a peaceful rapper, spoken word if different from literary poetry because without listening to the performer performing the poem the content can easily be misrepresented. He ends the poem by talking about world peace, can't do that by burning people.

I see the people that blame Bush for the deficit and die a little inside, for those of you who are naive enough to not know basic economics, decions made by a presidential term are lagged in the economy, it is commonly accepted that the economy is a slow acting system, for instance, the great depression had been festering for almost three presidential terms before the fall, it isnt attributed to the president who was in office at the time.

You make good points on the presentation of conservative ideas and arguments for a general audience, but it's a sad commentary. When it comes to serious issues I don't think we can survive as a country if both sides of an argument are compelled to make their side "entertaining" to be taken seriously. I think you're right.

@machosauceproduction Zo is right, as usual! As we were going in to Iraq, convoys of Iraqi trucks were fleeing to Syria. Now, maybe they were just carrying Sadam's baseball card collection & Brady Bunch commemorative plates, but I'm thinking it was stuff a bit more important that Saddam didn't want us to find, so he sent it to his fellow Bath Party ruler in Syria, to be hidden away.
Not proof they were WMD's in all those trucks-but it makes sense. Clinton & many others thought they existed!

@machosauceproduction what people forget is that the war never officially ended. We were essentially under a UN brokered ceasefire. The conditions of which included Iraq proving disposal of WMDs that everyone new where there. It was never the obligation of The US to prove he had them, under the signed resolutions it was his responsibility to prove he had gotten rid of them.
The resolutions also granted any member nations to enforce compliance through "any means it deemed necessary".

@taylor22222222 That's quite a stretch there plasticman. Seriously, if he wanted to say fire Bush then say fire him. I've never had an employer who "burned" people when letting them go.
As for his domestic policy, Bush's was nowhere NEAR as controversial as what's been shoved down our throats the past 2 years.

xD Hahahaa. It's a play on words, an allusion to the burning bush in the Bible. It's a metaphor for persecuting the president, like Nixon and Clinton. Companies don't generally 'burn' people, but we're talking about a freakin poem. o.O Quit being so irrational.
And I agree, this administration is very controvercial...I made that point. Basically we have an administration that's a little more on the fringe then the previous one... which is what I believe conceived the neocon...

... by scrambling to cover up everything that the previous administration did. Patriot Act, Department of homeland security, bailouts and TARP funds, the housing market bubble-bust (American Dream Home Act, 2006) and not to mention the Department of Education had very well expanded, it used to be that the Republicans were against all that.
I'm no liberal drone saying Bush killed the environment or advocated terrorist rights~that's nonsense.

so well said, the truth is Common going to the whitehouse is no more odd than the hundreds of other guests they have each year. Common is as rappers go, one of the least hateful with a catalogue of some of the most positive songs. Folks may not like him, but painting him as some gun toting ganster type is pure bullshit, and the more our fellow conservatives harp on such a non issue, the more they marginalize our movement.

@QCprepper traditionally, that's bass-ackwards. I dunno when, or why, but the meanings for the words "liberal" and "conservative" have completly traded places in their meanings. Like, I can look at the defintion of the word Liberal and go, "that's me!" but I look at 'liberals' out there today, and they are the opposite of me. So, I identify with the Conservatives, who wish to conserve the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. (which are liberal documents) LOL

I enjoyed that rant, and I hope conservatives will start getting more serious on the packaging. That's where Reagan was great. He not only had good ideas (sadly only a small fraction of them were implemented), but he knew how to reach the people with them. Gingrich in the early Contract with America days showed some promise there too, but was often too inconsistent with both his message and his actions.

You won't agree with me here but, if the right wants someone to buy what it's selling, it needs to think more about what it's selling. I'm a conservative but I have a difficult time hearing a conservative speak about freedom and liberty, and personal responsibility.. yet we still make excuses for why weed is illegal? there are so many stupid controlling laws on our lives it drives me nuts, and it feels like Libertarians are the only ones attacking that.
jkessler410 9 months ago
@jkessler410 That's one of those areas where I'm neither entirely with the conservative or libertarian camp. Back when the feds tried to ban alcohol, they were at least honest about it by requiring a Constitutional amendment. It didn't work, and got repealed. On the local level, there are dry towns nowadays, and people are generally respectful of each town's laws on it. I think if we did something a bit more like that regarding marijuana laws, it would work a lot better. Decide it locally.
BillMonarch 9 months ago 2
I am for state rights, but at the same time the same problem plagues states, I hate drugs but love craft beers, Old Rasputin X and Sam Adams Triple Bock are two of my favorites, I can not even buy them in my state because the alcohol levels are around 19%, so they have to be sold in ABC stores which are run by the government and don't sell beer, so basically I can not get it anywhere without driving for hours upon hours, which I'm not doing fo-r beer.
jkessler410 9 months ago
@jkessler410 That's one of the areas where it's frustrating, but it's a bit easier to repeal at the state level than the federal, and even more so at the local level. I can't get freaking raw milk in my state. I support state nullification of unconstitutional federal acts, and beyond that, I'm all for counties and towns flexing their muscle and saying "screw you" to the state if it gets too intrusive. That's starting up in Maine, where towns are ignoring fed and state regulations on raw foods.

Sorry to spam it but I wanted to say more, look at the laws we abide by day to day.. tickets for seat belts, tickets for rolling stop signs if we slowed to .0001 MPH instead of 0.0 MPH.. Every turn some politician is trying to ban some book, movie or video game because they don't feel adults can decide for themselves what is ok for them to enjoy.. we need a huge makeover.. there is a difference between what I think is personally right, and what is constitutionally allowed.

@jkessler410 Really, Liberatarians are like parrots- "squak, squak, we're lazy, ignorant dopers and we want weed!" "squak, squak, we're lazy, ignorant perverts and we want prostitution legalized!"
You vermin are all about young girls basically being forced into slavery to satisfy your perversions, and getting young kids hooked on drugs.

@TheLordObamessiah You're a dolt man, I hate drugs, I want nothing to do with them, I've never touched them in my life... but that's the problem here.. we hear about how conservatives are against the Nanny state, we don't need government dictating our lives on how we live, how we spend our money or what foods we consume (and they try to dictate all of that).. But if someone suggests that if an idiot wants to do drugs who are you to tell them they can't? it's not my problem nor yours.

@jkessler410 A lot of this is also where I disagree with the republican party. It's okay to do drugs: if you have a doctor give them to you. Try to grow your own in a veggie garden, you're looking at some prison time. Republicans also lose me in religion. Apparently, you can't be a conservative unless you are christian. Only christians can be conservatives. And that don't fly with me. Constitution says, FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

@jkessler410 Drug addicts aren't harmless- there is an assembly line of young children that are horribly abused or neglected because their loser parents are on drugs. There's the problem of meth houses next door to people who shouldn't have the danger of those chemicals next door or the scum that come to buy the stuff. They are a large portion of the people out there stealing from the rest of us.

And I'll add, it's not just about drugs, it's all of the stupid laws in life.. if the other lane is void of traffic why can't I just turn left? why do I get a ticket for rolling a stop sign on an empty road (do you think laws can be common sense and a police officer should be able to determines the threat level between pulling out in front of someone?. I love craft beer, if it has high alcohol, I can't buy it in my state.. the list could go on and on.

Hey, Zonation, remember when you said that conservatives think they're so smart that you can hardly tell them anything? Notice how, in both your clips providing evidence that liberals live in a world of make believe, neither liberal was allowed to actually finish their explanation, and instead the conservatives, including yourself, presumed a forthcoming explanation worthy of ridicule? You realize you were just providing evidence of conservative know-it-all-ism right?

Zo, As a individual I could care less that Common is who Obama is entertained by,that knowledge only strengthens my views of Obama's personality and his politics. Nothing we can do about that until 2012. I had the same disgust over Clinton's behavior as well in "The People's House". But I think you may have overlooked one minor fact Sir. It's not Obama's House. It's OUR House and we should have some say as to the quality of Invitees to OUR White House. Diplomat's are a must Entertainers are Not!

this is the best rant you have ever given. I'm someone who's really creative & artistic, but has recently been woo'd over to the right through study. Where my liberal friends are open and accepting to all forms of expression, conservatives seem to be very closed minded. it's disappointing. especially with this Common fiasco. I'm a musician who loves all music. Common has produced a few really good tracks. go look up "The Light". How can a conservative object to music like that? don't be blinded!

It's this reality that allows people like Jon Stewart to exist. Full of lies and stereotypes but manage to make it entertaining. I'm sick of conservatives taking the bait and I'm even more sick of organizations like Fox News not defending themselves when they're slandered. They need to make noise in order to be heard. Otherwise, it's too easy for something like the Daily Show to talk them out of context, smear them and make it "fact" to their viewers.

@machosauceproduction I'd agree. There was a song recently by the lead singer of Staind that for the most part preached conservative values.
